debra-stoner

I originally herniated my disc December 2012 and after almost two years began to have spasm in my leg due to the herniation and decided on surgery. While the surgery went well and everyone in the center was great to work with, I had more pain than prior to surgery. My Orthopedic ONE physical therapist, Eric Clevidence was great about explaining the why and began to help me with my rehabilitation. His knowledge, patience and careful guidance and cheerfulness were what I needed to get the confidence back to be active again. My energy level is back, I am working out at least 5 times a week now. I am even able to safely do lunges once again. Stairs are no longer exhausting. Granted, having the the herniated part removed from around my L4 nerve was the first step, however, with Eric’s guidance, I patiently let the nerve heal and safely progressed to activity I have not been able to do in 2 years! Thanks!
